The Night My Baby Choked: A Lesson in Staying Calm

Trigger Warning: Infant Choking I’ll never forget the night my daughter started choking on a piece of banana. In an instant, my heart dropped and panic threatened to take over. I remembered what I’d learned in an infant CPR class, and somehow, my hands moved on their own—quick back blows, checking her mouth, and then relief as she started to cry. That sound was the sweetest thing I’d ever heard. It reminded me how important it is to be prepared for emergencies, even if we hope we’ll never face them.
